My sister and I have been trying to get to this food truck for a while. We finally made it out on a…read moreWednesday. Definitely worth the ride. On our first trip I was so amazed with the food I forgot to post a review. I had oxtails, yams, and mac & cheese. Oxtails were on a bed of rice with a very tasty gravy. Yams were on point. The Mac & cheese was good, however black pepper taste forward. Portions were big so I was able to have the oxtail for lunch the following day. Today I went with fried chicken wings, yams, and red beans. Another great dinner! If you're out in Manor stop by and chat with Fred Nunn. He's hilarious and a wonderful soul food chef,

If you can, order early and ahead. The man will take his time preparing your order and you will not say a word, until your order is ready. When he calls you to the window, every sense should begin to tingle because your about to devour a unique plate of food. I decided on the chicken strips and fries. Sounds pretty simple, right? Yeah, except for one thing... these chicken strips are PERFECT! The crunch of the breading, the moist "tender" white chicken meat melt into the perfectly spiced crust and there you will sit wondering, how? How? How does he do it??? Well there's no use pondering that question. It doesn't matter after you take another bite. Nothing. Not even the great fries.

And they only provide one small cornbread muffin, but it's very tastey. The pork chop was prepared well, but it's hard to remove gristly edges when it's all buried under the gravy. It could have been a better cut of meat, and that would have helped. There are certainly nicer porkchops available for purchase at Costco (and even HEB) if they want to upgrade the quality of ingredients. There are limited beverage options. They were out of coffee so I had unsweet tea, which was nice. The staff seemed to have something unusual going on. Maybe someone hadn't shown up for their shift or maybe they were training someone. But from greeting to seating to taking my order to checkout, it was just awkward. I don't expect it's normally that way. Lunch special was $12.99. Other meals were in the $20+ range. White meat chicken isn't available on the lunch menu, only dark. But even on the regular menu, it's dark meat only unless you pay a $4.95 upgrade. So basically, this creates a large (2X) price between different variations on a fried chicken meal, which fine, I guess, but for me, it's a strange pricing strategy that I haven't seen anywhere else. But mostly, to me, it feels like I'm eating in a city rec center with a staff of community volunteers. Friendly enough, and tasty enough, but not quite restauranty enough. I haven't given up on it, but I'm not quite sold yet. Wishing them well. I like having a soul food restaurant in town.

The portions are generous, which means count on bringing a doggie bag home. The flavors are bold, authentic, and the food comes out hot and fresh. Standouts include the wings, fish, oxtails, and their soul food egg rolls. Some of our favorites include the sweet potatoes, greens and grits. While the standout for us is the food, the service is exceptional. The owners, family members and servers are Texas friendly and super kind. It is not uncommon for you to see the owner cleaning tables or mopping. We love their work ethic. Whip My Soul delivers traditional Southern comfort with heart, soul, and consistency. If you're craving satisfying soul food in Austin, this restaurant should be #1on your dining list. The atmosphere is always friendly and welcoming.

We both subbed beans for mac and cheese. My friend appeared the most jolly I'd ever seen him and thoroughly enjoyed the chicken. I really liked the mac and cheese, and I liked the chicken as well. The coleslaw was decent, and I often don't like coleslaw. The skin was tough and too much for me, but the food itself was great. The two piece was substantial for me, and the four piece seemed to be a little too much even for a big boy. The restroom floors were suspiciously very wet. I feel like they could provide some moist towelettes because the chicken was very greasy, and we had to just pour water on the napkins. Downtown street parking was a struggle, but I found 2/3 of a spot close by that I decided could count as a spot.

The crinkle fries were the perfect companion, and the whole meal was tied together with their homemade sweet tea. I also enjoyed the brisket plate, but I felt that the brisket was too thinly sliced and the portion was small. It had good flavor and melted in your mouth, partly because it was sliced so thinly. Service was friendly and quick, but I was confused by the pricing because it's not listed at the truck. I have no idea how much I paid for each item, but I did think it was a little pricey. I'll definitely be back for the burger and am curious to try some of their other items.

As a family-owned restaurant, it has a welcoming, community feel and when the DJ gets going on weekends or R&B/Soul nights on Fridays, the place really comes alive. It's definitely a go-to for celebrations, birthdays, or a fun night out with friends. The seafood dishes deliver on that authentic Cajun flavor, seasoned well and satisfying for anyone craving Southern comfort food with a kick. That said, the atmosphere can be a bit much depending on what you're looking for. The music gets very loud - great for the vibe, but not ideal if you're trying to have a conversation across the table. Service can also be quite slow, especially during peak times, so patience is key. Overall, Down South Cajun Eats is perfect if you're in the mood for flavorful seafood and a party-like environment - but maybe not the best pick for a quiet dinner.

Asked about the special and they notified me to which days it was being offered. This later in the afternoon and they advised that they were running low on items which was helpful to choose from the menu. Food: Unfortunately, I would like to give them a better rating but I was not satisfied what was so-called soul food. Only thing that was good was the fried ribs. The mac-n-cheese, and greens were not well cooked. Soul food to me is oven baked mac-n-cheese and not stove top mac-n-cheese. The greens were missing a lot of flavor. Again, the fried ribs were okay but nothing to be too excited about. Overall: I would like to give them another chance but I hope other items will taste a lot better than what I was able to experience. Once again, Mrs. Tonya was wonderful with excellent customer service and made you feel like family. Unfortunately, the food was not as good as I was expecting.
